StOred.uD Moisture.

| A writer in the May number of the Pop
ular Science Monthly says ''that it is
popular saying in Russia. (where the win
tiers are severely cold), that when there
is little snow the waters will be high, and
there will be little water when much snow
falls" This seems kind OF paradox.
and yet is undoubtedly true. When lit
tie snow falls in winter the ground freezes
to great depth The first water that is
spread over the surface also freezes, and
crust of ice is formed. over which the wa
ter flows as over big boulder without
penetrating it. Such water quickly flows
off, causing rapid rise of water in the
rivers When, on the contrary, the snow
is abundant, it protects the ground in such
way that the thaw can begin from be-
low and the formation of crust of ice
on the surface is not possible. The melt
ed snow penetrates the soil. and does not
reach the streams and rivers till after the
ground has become saturated. An evil.
dence of this truth is manifest the present
spring. We had great depth of snow,
and the remark was often heard in early
spring that it would cause great treshet.
But the snow remained on the ground
late. keeping it SO warm that the frost
came ont before the snow had disappeared.
The snow went off gradually and was abb
sorbed by the earth. and so far we have
had but little rise of water in our rivers.
The period of severe freezing of the
ground at night has passed, and we think
little injury has been done the grass fields
by ''spring killing" The thorough sat
uration of the earth by the dissolving snow
becomes ''stored up MOISTURE" and we
have no doubt that it prepares the land to
resist drouth later in the season.

The Young Colt on the Farm.

The season is near when the young colts
claim share of the farmers attention
Much OF the annoyance which many find
in working the mother can be easily
anticipated by little forethoueht and the
exercise of little natural tact. After it
is two weeks old, the colt is as capable of
living on three meals day as is the calf.
and it should be shut up in a yard OF past
ure, away from the mother, while she is
at work. Care must, of course, be
exercised on the start. Leaving the colts
in small lot with older colts OF horses
will relieve the anxiety that is first
felt when left alone. A little care as to
the temperature OF the mothers blood
when the colt takes its milk is also i'm
portant. If the mother is to be worked
constantly it is advisable to teach the colt
to eat little bran and oats as soon as
possible, and by increasing this grain ra-
ton it will be ready for weaving earlier
and the weaving process will be more
gradual. and in every way more agree
able. If the colt is haltered and handled
a half hour every day till two months old,
and battered and led regularly at least
once week after this, it will be much
better for it in every way.-LiUe Stock

Maine Colts to the Fore.


The closing of the entries for the New
England Trotting Horse Breeders races,
to occur the coming fall, shows that Maine
colts are we'll represented in the list. and
that Kennebec county, (the old home OF
Knox, Gideon and Constellation). is way
to the forefront of the Maine string. Our
we'll known breeders, Mr.. E. l.. Norcross
of Manchester and Mr.. c. H. Nelson of
Wateryille make several entries, the last
named gentleman nominating Artist by
Dictator Chief, Ednah, (same sire). and
Mechanic, (same sire). The dam OF
Artist is BY Belmont; the dam of Mechanic
is by Onward, by Otis Morrill,, by Winth-
roo morrill,. and the dam of Ednah is
Gretchen, Ohe dam of Susie Owen. 20,
and Nelson, 2.263), one of the finest brood
mares ever owned in Maine, her sire being
Gideon by Ryedyk's Hambletonian. Mr..
Norcross enters st. Valentine by Fear
naught Jr.. e. 26>, dam by Ethan Allen
(2.254). Other Kennebec county horses
nominated are Comrade, owned by
Charles B. Gilman, Waterville; and Fire
bell owned by r. l. Stewart, Waterville.
Comrade is by Gideon, dam by Norton's
Hambletonian; and Firebell is by Onward
one of Mr. Nelson's famous young STALL
ions. Mr. Edward J. Lawrence of Fair
field, owner of the celebrated Knox STALL
ion DIR. Franklin, nominates two colts.
Ticonic. by DR.. Franklin, (2.3D; and
Lawrence, (2.30D, by DIR. Franklin.
Other Maine colts entered are: School
marin, by Olympus, by Almont, dam
Princess, owned by Hon. NJ. N. McCusick
of Calais and a very handsome stallion by
Hambletonian Chief, (sire of George
o.. 2,24D, dam by Gilbreth Knox
(2.26S) owned by G. r. Ellis OF Bel
fast. Several nominations are also made
by Gen. w. S. Tilton, now of Boston, but
claimed really as Maine man as he is an
old resident here, and is also soon to es-
tablsh horse breeding farm here again
very soon. We are much mistaken it the
above colts, which represent some OF the
best combinations OF trotting blood in the
country, do not win renown for themselves
at the races by coming in under the wire
at the right end OF the string. and also
bring additional credit to Maine as a horse
breeding State.

Cleaning Up Rubbish.

The sanitary condition of farm resi-.
dences is often affected by the manner Of
disposing of the rubbish which naturally
accumulates during the winter. The de.
composition of old bones from the smoke.
house and offal from the table not inire
quently fills the air with most disagree
able stencil about the residences of people
who make claims to be at least decent in
their Mariner of living. Aside from the
idea of decency, such matters ought to be
looked after tor sanitary reasons. An at.
mosphere filled with the odors of such
filth cannot be very conducive to health
The proper way to dispose of this rubbish
is to gatherit up and burn it in the garden
or on some patch OF ground that needs
fertilzing. The ashes produced by burn
ing old meats, bones, etc., make the best
kind of fertilizer, and farmers can have q
double purpose in doing such work.

The Spring Advances Slowly.

The active work upon the farm will COM
mence late. as the season opens up very
tardily this spring. The weather is cold
the ground covered with snow. or so cold
and saturated that it cannot be moved fol-
weeks to come. Then it will be jump,
hurry and Jacket. But just remember,
good farmers, and don't be driven into
hurry ing or neglecting to do your work
thoroughly and we'll. The well worked
and we'll planted field is already halt
hoed but if you would expect the best re-
suits from your labor, at the close Of what
must be short period of warmth and
growth, take ample time and do your work
better than ever.

Objection to White Fowls.

White fowls are very pretty and they
have one great advantage over others
When they are killed and plucked the pin
feathers, which it is almost impossible to
pull out, do not show as do those of dark
colored fowls. The great objection we
find to them is that the chicks are very
conspicuous and attract hawks and other
predatory creatures. A white chicken is
ALWAYS more attractive to dog or a ca,
or mink than one of another color, and
the percentage of those lost annually or
account OF their whiteness must be large

An Object Lesson in Apple Grow
ing.

At the meeting of the State Pathological
Society last winter, the President Mr..
Charles S. Pope of Manchester. who has
one of the largest and most profitable or
chards in Name. delivered one of the
most eloquent and effective speeches ever
made at such a meeting, although Mr..
Pope is not given to much speaking, and
always prefers to let his orchard and its
products speak for him. He held in his
hand as he stood upon the platform, a
single plate of two varieties of fruit-one,
some very handsome Baldwips; the other,
three or four mean, scurvy. small, dried
up Bellfiowers. These were from trees
growing almost side by side in Mr.. Pope
orchard, both on exactly the same soil,
having had exactly the same care and
treatment, set at about the same time, and
yet the results, how different. The Bald
win trees all about this part of the or
chard are vigorous and bear heavily OF
handsome fruit. The BellAower bas done
nothing. 1t should yield, said MIR. Pope,
three or four barrels of No. apples but
instead it only bears peck or so OF small
inferior specimens, and not dozen of the
entire crop would be called marketable
apples.
Now the result of this little speech was
that the apples showed conclusively that
the soil, while favorable for the Baldwin,
was not adapted to the Bellhower; and
that why certain varieties of apples do not
succeed in particular localities, even il
given the best of care, is because the soil
and the variety are not in harmony. 1t is
well known that some farmers can grow
Baldwins, others cannot, while the same
is true of Russets, Greetings, Bellflowers,
and we do not know why it is not also
true of the Spy, King and numerous other
varieties. This matter OF the relation OF
soil to the adaptability of certain varieties
is one that lies at the very foundation Of
success in orcharding, and one that must
be studied well by all who are intending
to plant new orchards this spring. Mr.
Pope's object lesson on this interesting
subject ought to bear good fruit

DR.. Sturtevant, the Director of the New
York Experiment Station, recently stated
in public meeting "that his experiments
in fertilizers at the station for the past five
years have resulted in failures. and will
not bear the test of logical examination. "
And when asked the question, "What are
you going to do about it P" replies: "We
have got to hunt for some better methods,
we have got to educate ourselves better
in this kind of work, we have got to be,
come more expert than we are. The
difficulties of experimenting are enormous,
and no one realizes it better than those
engaged in that kind of work." The ex-
periments in the laboratory are per.
formed by scientific methods,
because the methods of science
are the only methods now known upon
which can be accomplished practical re.
suits. But the farmer, making practical
tests upon his own soil, is doing differen,
work. One farmer may apply little
fertilizer of certain brand upon a small
plat of ground; and his neighbor may
apply the same or another kind of fertil.

very different. They may be worth

Silver City Avalanche.

We are pleased to say that news
from the valleys indicate that the
reports about heavy losses in cattle
are exaggerated. Mr.. Brooks writes
from Mcbride creek, about six
miles from South Mountain, that
he and Mr.. O'Keefe, have lost no
stock of any consequence, and that
the foot hills are now free from
snow, and that from now on no
one need have any fears of their
stock in that section of country.
AS matter of course, those who
have stock in the valleys, where
the feed is all eaten off, will lose
some stock, but not as much by
half, as was expected.
